During the [[Yi Peng]] festival of Thailand, some people also decorate their houses, gardens, and temples with ''khom fai'' ({{langx|th|โคมไฟ}}), intricately shaped paper lanterns which take on different forms. ''Khom thue'' ({{langx|th|โคมถือ}}) are lanterns which are carried around hanging from a stick, ''khom khwaen'' ({{langx|th|โคมแขวน}}) are the hanging lanterns, and ''khom pariwat'' ({{langx|th|โคมปริวรรต}}), which are placed at temples and which revolve due to the heat of the candle inside. The most elaborate ''Yi Peng'' celebrations can be seen in [[Chiang Mai]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chiangmai-chiangrai.com/loy_krathong-lantern_festival_yee_peng.html|title=Lantern Festival of the Yee Peng Month|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130228183415/http://www.chiangmai-chiangrai.com/loy_krathong-lantern_festival_yee_peng.html|archive-date=2013-02-28}}</ref> the ancient capital of the former Lanna kingdom, where now both ''Loi Krathong'' and ''Yi Peng'' are celebrated at the same time resulting in lights floating on the waters, lights hanging from trees/buildings or standing on walls, and lights floating in the sky. The tradition of ''Yi Peng'' was also adopted by certain parts of [[Laos]] during the 16th century.

Thousands of sky lanterns called ''khom loi'' ({{langx|th|โคมลอย}}) are also released annually during the [[Yi Peng]] festival. However, this is a relatively new addition to the festival, only dating back to the first decade of the 21st century as part of tourism development.<ref name="BP-20181118">{{cite news |title=No urban place for Loy Krathong |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/1577774/no-urban-place-for-loy-krathong |access-date=18 November 2018 |work=Bangkok Post |date=18 November 2018 |department=Opinion}}</ref>
